Stations of the Cross in English and Spanish illustrated by Saint Pat's
School 4th Graders. You'll find materials on Reconciliation, an Examination
of Conscience and even a Credit Card to Heaven.  Lenten regulations are
there too, along with a complete schedule of Services and Activities.  Be
sure to visit our ON-LINE STATIONS OF THE CROSS.  I've written them for
children and adults alike.  They've been newly illustrated this year by the
4th Graders at our own Saint Patrick's School and are available in English
and Spanish as well. Just follow the link from:

"God says, 'I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have
compassion on whom I have compassion.'  So it depends not on human will or
exertion, but on God who shows mercy."  ~Romans 9:15-16

=:  M E D I T A T I O N   F O R   T H E   D A Y  :=.

We cannot have a spiritual need which God cannot supply.  Our fundamental
need is a spiritual need, the need of power to live the good life.  The best
spiritual supply is received by us when we want it to pass on to other
people.  We get it largely by giving it away. God can give us strength as we
pass it on to another person.  That strength can mean increased health;
increased health can mean more good work, and more good work can mean more
people helped.  And so it goes on, a constant supply to meet all spiritual
needs.

=: P R A Y E R   F O R   T H E   D A Y  :=.

I pray that my every spiritual need may be supplied by God.  I pray that I
may use the power I receive to help others.

Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ 

.=: W E     P R A Y  :=.

Mary asks prayers for her niece who is going through a court battle for
custody of her son that it will be the best outcome for the baby. Mom asks
prayers for gift of God's comfort and wisdom for newly married daughter
whose marriage is falling apart. Marilyn asks for prayers for her daughter
and her three granddaughters who are moving and need an affordable home to
live in.

Richard asks prayers of thanksgiving for health of self and family and
granting of requested reconciliation in a miraculous way! Kathryn asks
prayers for her husband who is suffering with debilitating back pain. A
member request prayers for a family who's 13 year old died tragically last
week with the funeral today. A member requests prayers for her son who is
suffering from a severe anxiety disorder.

We pray for unity in our country and that we may build a Culture of Life. We
pray for the safety of our troops, their safe return and their families at
home.  We pray for a deep and profound respect for life, and for the courage
and willingness to stand up for life. We pray for one another, for those who
have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most. Have a
good day!

May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!

Father Pat

      "Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalm 46:10 


Keep me in your prayers and know you're remembered in mine as well.   May
God continue to draw near to you and those you love and keep you safe!

All the best and God Bless,

Father Pat
